  • I just checked out the Mint Museum yesterday and agree with other yelpers, it's a beautiful building with impressive exterior and interior architecture. I was short on time so I wasn't able to see a whole lot, but I did get to spend about an hour on the fourth floor where I navigated through their permanent collection (American portraiture as well as landscape art) and also got to see Debora Arango's exhibit. I liked the museum's permanent collection but I was blown away by Arango's work. The exhibit space was separated into sections where you could see her art in response to Colombian politics - especially the period known as "La Violencia", you could see her nude work with her point of view on woman's femininity and repressiveness (there was a wide range!), and you could see another section titled "Social" that depicted the socioeconomic disparities where she targeted the corrupt government and religious figures in her work. Her art is vibrant with bold colors and even her pieces that push the envelope, like "Silent Madonna" have beauty to them. I appreciate Frida Kahlo and I found Arango's art to be somewhat similar with the choice of colors and same thick brush strokes. If you like art that encompasses many themes with a little controversy, then I highly recommend going to the Mint and getting a glimpse of Arango's exhibit while it's still around, which I think is until mid-June. As for the rest of the Mint, I wish I had a chance to check out the infamous "Craft and Design" collection but unfortunately I didn't have enough time. However multiple reviews point out it's great and I hope to take a look the next time I'm at the Mint. A couple of other things to point out: Halcyon is a restaurant that's in the building and it's beautiful with a gorgeous view (I didn't get to eat there but I hope to the next time I'm at the Mint), the Mint offers many cool events (most free!) listed under "Happenings" on their website, and lastly if you feel like museum hopping, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is next door.
